FREE EXHIBITION
Here is a Gale Warning: Art, Crisis & Survival
22 March – 29 June 2025
This exhibition presents eight contemporary artists whose works offer vantage points on a world in perpetual crisis. Rather than representing specific political events, or taking singular positions, each artist in this exhibition explores broader conditions of domination and conflict, as well as horizons for survival.
